Replacing old screws on your Ford

[GJUK]

Hello everyone.

 

I have another query.

 

Rebuilding my Mk1 escort, lots of the old screws and bolts I'm taking off of it need replacing.

 

Not having any reference information to work with, finding out what size the screws are (width and length) is proving quite difficult.

 

Is there such a thing as an A4 print out you can buy, which is 100% to scale where you can offer your 'used' screws to it to find out which size is the correct size to buy?

 

Cheers chaps.

 

Hope you're all enjoying your holidays.

Either buy a selection box from in excess,

Or look in the yellow pages for a screw and fastener supplier,

I'm lucky because if i don't have what i need i go into work and order "samples" from our suppliers
